General Plan 2045

What is a General Plan?

A General Plan is a broad planning guideline to a city's or county's future development goals and provides policy statements to achieve those development goals. Citywide development and policies are based around this document.

This document is revised periodically to ensure that established policies are compliant with current standards and regulations, and that the established goals and policies aligned with the needs and interests of the residents.
